The Ribbon Around My Wrist
Alessandro Moretti doesnât believe in love. Not the kind found in books, anyway. As the feared head of the Moretti Family, heâs spent years rolling his eyes at mafia romances and their predictable storylines. Kidnappings. Brooding crime bosses. Dramatic declarations of love. Happy endings. Ridiculous. People who write those stories have never stood in a room stained with blood. Theyâve never buried someone they loved because of the life they lived. Love isnât romantic. Love is dangerous. At least, thatâs what Alessandro has always believed. Then Cassie walks into his life wearing pink bows and a smile that somehow makes him forget what he was saying. Cassie is everything Alessandro isnât. Sheâs warm where heâs cold. Optimistic where heâs cynical. Chaotic where heâs controlled. And for reasons he canât begin to understand, she isnât afraid of him at all. The more time they spend together, the harder it becomes for Alessandro to ignore the truth. He likes her. Far more than he should. Soon, the man who once mocked romance novels finds himself living inside one. Heâs buying her flowers. Remembering her favorite designer. Letting her redecorate his estate. And somehow ending up with pink ribbons tied around his wrist. Itâs humiliating. Itâs irrational. And heâd burn the world down before giving it up. But as threats begin to close in and old enemies set their sights on the woman who has become his greatest weakness, Alessandro must decide what matters more: The rules heâs lived by his entire life. Or the woman who made him want something more than survival.
